Abstract
An in-line skate having tapered, metallic wheels for skating on ice surfaces. The skate has in-line wheels which are made of metal and taper from an inner main body to an outer edge. The tapered wheels contact the ice and provide a low rolling resistance in a forward direction to facilitate high speed skating and provide in the same surface an edge which has a high friction coefficient when the contact with the ice surface is oblique to the forward direction allowing a skate to push off with the wheels oblique to the line of travel and glide along the line of travel.
